The Raptor Center and ACES - Educating the Next Generation

We wanted to highlight artwork done by some very
creative and perceptive 4th graders.

Our long-time partnership with ACES (Athletes Committed to Educating Students)
has allowed us to reach 4th graders in the Minneapolis metro
area.The Raptor Center visits at
after-school programs, and we explore the students’ ongoing interest with
owls.The Raptor Center’s winged
ambassador owls obviously did a great job of helping teach concepts such as
food webs, and how raptors are an important part of the environment we share.

We were also impressed as always with the
level of appreciation and creativity these students shared with us in the form
of bookmarks they created.These
bookmarks will be given out at other programs, to highlight how young people
perceive raptors.
